Included with all the GM standard features, the Catalina also had wood grain on the dash board.

1967 Pontiac Catalina

The Catalina received a heavy facelift featuring integral bumper-grilles, "wasp waist" body styling, angular wedge-shaped front fender tips, and recessed windshield wipers. A crisp horizontal beltline crease and flare sculpturing between the doors and rear wheel openings were other new design traits. The Catalina carried all of the standard GM safety features plus wood grain on the dash board and nylon blend carpeting. Small hubcaps were still used and there was "Pontiac" letters on the left-hand grille. The word "Catalina" was on the sides of the front fenders behind the wheel openings. The taillights were horizontal with a single long lens that curved downwards at each side. Catalinas that were equipped with the Ventura trim package or 2+2 option had different trim.
